    The opinion has been expressed elsewhere on this board that I do not exist. An interesting postulate. But, can I refute it? Not by myself, no I can't. I therefore submit my[postulated]self to a Turing Test, LTH style. Please, pose questions the answers to which inherently prove the individual existence of the one answering. Unfair questions include, "Didn't I see you at Honey 1?", etc. (Oh, yes: J.R. Searle, assuming he exists, is ineligible, and no -- the Chinese Room is NOT a GNR winner.)

    According to Ramsey Theory, there are now enough people in this thread (whether they exist or not) to nearly guarantee a fight will break out....

    You're watching a stage play. A banquet is in progress. The guests are enjoying an appetizer of raw oysters. The entree consists of boiled dog.
